Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
Soups and Base:
- 2 (10.5 ounces) cans cream of chicken soup
- 2 (10.5 ounces) cans cream of celery soup
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 12 ounces frozen mixed vegetables
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
Topping:
- 1 (16.3 ounces) can homestyle biscuits or homemade drop biscuits
Instructions
- Prepare the crock pot by generously coating the interior with non-stick spray to prevent ingredient adhesion and simplify cleanup.
- Arrange chicken pieces at the bottom of the crock pot, seasoning thoroughly with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to enhance flavor profile.
- Completely cover chicken with cream of chicken and cream of celery soups, creating a rich, velvety base that will develop depth during cooking.
- Distribute frozen mixed vegetables evenly across the soup layer, ensuring uniform cooking and maintaining vegetable integrity.
- Dust the vegetable layer with remaining seasonings to amplify the overall taste complexity.
- Secure the crock pot lid and slow cook for 6-8 hours on low heat or 4-6 hours on high heat, allowing chicken to become supremely tender and easily shreddable.
- Approximately 20 minutes before serving, bake biscuits according to package directions or prepare homemade drop biscuits for a personalized touch.
- Moments before serving, use two forks to shred chicken directly within the crock pot, thoroughly incorporating the meat with the creamy vegetable sauce.
- Plate by either positioning a whole biscuit beneath the chicken mixture or splitting biscuits and topping with the savory, hearty filling for a comforting meal.
Notes
- Use low-sodium cream soups to control salt intake for those watching their sodium levels.
- Swap chicken with tofu or plant-based protein alternatives for a vegetarian version that maintains the creamy texture.
- Add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary during cooking to elevate the flavor profile and introduce subtle aromatic notes.
- Replace frozen mixed vegetables with fresh seasonal vegetables for a more vibrant and nutritionally dense dish.
